Update 12/13/23:

We met our MATCH!

Thanks to your remarkable outpouring of support, we secured the $25,000 matching donation from a PCS grandparent in less than one week!

Thank you, PCS community for believing in us, for supporting our mission and for helping us take this next big step into our future! With your help, Peconic Community School is establishing a new hub for learner-centered, place-based education on the North Fork, and this January’s move to the Cutchogue campus represents just the beginning of PCS’s positive impact on the North Fork community.

Today, inspired by the wave of generosity initiated by the PCS grandparent community over the past week, PCS Board President Cindy Armine-Klein has extended an additional $10,000 toward our GIVE 2023 campaign to encourage PCS parents to match her contribution!

From Cindy: “As a former PCS parent myself, I know just what a difference PCS can make in a child’s life. Today, I hope you will join me in making a difference in PCS’s future with a gift to the year-end campaign. Every contribution counts, whether $25 or $2,500. Our aim is 100% PCS parent participation to show our support for the school’s mission and vision of making the world a better place today and well into the future for our children and our community.”

Update 12/6/23:

We have a MATCH! Give today to double -- or TRIPLE! -- your gift to PCS!

As we gear up to take a big step forward into our future and our new home in Cutchogue, we're thrilled to share news that is as inspiring as it is excting:

a generous PCS grandparent has offered an incredible $25,000 gift matching opportunity!

To help us ready the new campus for our January arrival and create a learning space on the North Fork dedicated to place-based, community-minded education, our grandparent donor has offered to

**double all gifts made to PCS through the end of the year, and TRIPLE ALL GIFTS MADE BY FELLOW PCS GRANDPARENTS up to $25,000!**

The means that your gift of:

$50 will become $100
$500 will become $1,000
$2,500 will become $5,000

UNLESS, like our generous donor, you are a PCS grandparent committed to enhancing learning spaces for future generations, in which case, YOUR GIFT WILL BE TRIPLED, turning a

$500 gift into $1,500
$2,500 gift into $7,500
$5,000 gift into $15,000

This is an extraordinary opportunity for us to come together to shape our students' and our community's educational future. Your support of our year-end campaign will not only help us transition smoothly to our new home, but will also enable us to enhance our curriculum, expand our offerings, and create an even more nurturing environment for students on the North Fork.

We're running headlong into an exciting and transformative chapter in PCS's history, and we need you to jump in and take these next steps with us!

Moving to a permanent home in Cutchogue signifies more than just securing a new building for our students – it symbolizes a profound commitment to expanding and enhancing the place-based, community-centered educational experiences that PCS offers. Your support of our year-end GIVE 2023 fundraising campaign will help us create a dynamic learning environment with expanded opportunities – including after school, summer and weekend programs and events – for the North Fork community. We hope you’ll join the MOVEment; together we can forge a new path for progressive education on the North Fork.

Peconic Community School was founded in 2012 with a clear understanding that modern schools need to educate children for an uncertain future, one whose lifestyles and career opportunities are difficult to predict. It is with the goal of fostering resilience, reflection, and compassion that PCS approaches educating children for the realities of the 21st century.

PCS implements a learner-centered curriculum -- incorporating project-based learning, place-based investigations, integrated study, and student-driven inquiry -- with a strong commitment to social emotional well-being and community building to engage and inspire the whole child.
